Teixeira (leg) will not be in the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Red Sox, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Yankees manager Joe Girardi relayed after Sunday's 20-6 trouncing of the Braves that Teixeira was feeling "a little better," but he needs more time for his bruised shin to heal up. As a result, Greg Bird should remain the Yankees' top option for starts at first base, though Alex Rodriguez could get a look at the position at some point during the series with two left-handers on tap to start for Boston.
